Lessa!

She's a great character!

[@Viksbelle]

My intro was the collected version of the Harper Hall trilogy.

[@Viksbelle]

Anne's world building skills are something to aspire to.

[@inerdius]

Did you like those? I see them in the used bookstore sometimes and have been thinking about getting those to read as part of a Deeper Dive into the Pern books.

[@Viksbelle]

@@inerdius loved them. I lost my McCaffrey collection several moves ago. Finally started rebuilding a little at Chattacon this year. One of the book dealers had a few titles.

[@inerdius]

@@Viksbelle I think I know that bookseller. He tends to have a great selection of paperbacks.

[@Viksbelle]

@I, Nerdius haven't been able to find my signed copy of The Masterharper of Pern since I moved to my house from my final rental. I think I may have accidentally included it in a bag of books I took to McKameys Used Books. 😞
